This was actually preceded by a scene in which she was crying uncontrollably, and I tried singing Baa Baa Black Sheep, Row Row Row Your Boat, Five Little Ducks and Horsey Horsey to calm her down, to no avail. Then I had a moment of divine inspiration and started singing the Star Wars theme tune, and she instantly flopped in my lap, head back, as calm and attentive as if I were Julie Andrews singing Ave Maria.Not that she's seen Star Wars. The only time she's heard any of the music was in Car Going Fast film. Which was a bit of a favourite last week. So me singing the theme reminded her (a totally different part of the theme, though, so she's pretty smart to pick it up). Next thing I knew, she was sitting on the loo demanding Car Going Fast. Watch on Loo, Daddy. What am I doing to my family?

Another message from London's underground tourist board.

I don't know how you all do it. So many of you taking part in NaVloPoMo have been writing comments on my videos every day, so I know you're watching - AND you're making incredible films. Which is what it's all about, I feel - I don't want to just be making films here, I want to be watching and talking. But I haven't been able to find the time to do that for days. So I've tried to steal a couple of hours this evening to watch videos. I watched 5-10 films while the duck cooked between 8 and 9. Then I watched 5-10 more while Kate ordered our shopping online.And I still hadn't made a film myself. In fact, I was so busy watching that I'd totally forgotten that I was even supposed to make one myself. Until 11.33pm. So this is the only option left to me! I'm humbled by the talent and passion and generosity everybody's showing by both creating and watching other people. And a bit frustrated at why I can't get my shit together to do it better myself. At some point, I'm going to try to post links to some of the videos I've watched. But there are dozens being posted for NaVloPoMo each day, and I'm days and days behind. Now I'm really finally off to my bed on the floor. Kate and I usually hang out quite a lot in the evenings, so it felt a bit weird watching separate things in separate rooms. I wish I could both watch and hang with her. Perhaps I'm going to have to set up an Apple TV and drag her even further into our hell...

This is one of the things I'm going to miss most about England when I go to Canada. I shot this on Monday in Devon, on the way back from Kate's dad's cottage to the station in the nearest town. 20 minutes of death star taxi adrenaline. I was wondering what I should do with it until I saw Gogen's NaVloPoMo Day 7 video of his drive back home through his town at night, set to music. Then I realised I'd secretly known all along what to do with it. NaVloPoMo is full of people responding to and being inspired by other people's videos. Organic video conversations. I love it. And I love how - when cutting to music - with a little tweaking and care, you can find and take advantage of chance interactions between image and soundtrack. It feels good to finally add the score for real, since when I'm actually driving at high speed along single lane country roads, this is *always* what I'm singing to myself in my head. And if I'm driving and there's nobody else in the car, maybe perhaps sometimes I might even possibly have been known to sing it out loud. Maybe even quite loud. Especially the bit that kicks in after he turns off the tracking computer. It's like being 11 again.

I feel sad that this is over.I feel sad that I didn't complete it in the way that I'd planned. Even though I never planned to.But much more than that, I feel like laughing out loud for everyone else. All those who took part in just a little bit of it, those who got through most or almost all of it, and those who did it every day, within the deadline. A film every day for a month. That's so great.We want to do a screening. And have a site. And record this somewhere so it isn't lost.I wonder what we've learned? :)

I wouldn't have had the strength to make this metamorphosis, this renaissance, this rebirth, alone.

Just a collection of moments from today. I wish I could have shown you the Gnome House. It was one of the sweetest things I ve ever seen. Amy was awed. But it was way too dark to film. (Even my kitchen at night is too dark to film. It s the one thing that really bugs me about the N93. I think I m going to have to stop using it soon, so I can have some fun with colours and night-time filming.) Anyway, the school is pretty amazing. Those drawings I show on the way into the main building - they re by people in Class 9, who are (I guess) 15/16 years old. It s not an art school. It s a Waldorf school - an holistic educational movement set up by Rudolph Steiner in the early 20th Century. Read more here and see the Wikipedia entry on him here. It s pretty interesting. Also ran into the brilliant and unhinged Jason Jarrett (ABuddhistPodcast.com and ForestRowRadio.com) whom I met for the first time two weeks ago at Phil Campbell s bash (see here for evidence), and only afterwards realised that we had this other connection. Only saw him briefly, but hopefully have even more excuse to hang out now.

This is a trip that @sizemore and I took on Monday. You can see his written account and photo slideshow at http://trustedplaces.com/news/?p=28, posted (ahem) the same day.These free Tuk Tuks are being laid on in central London until Saturday (24th) to promote The Darjeeling Limited, the new Wes Anderson film, out here on Friday. Mike was asked if he wanted a ride in one by the PR company, and he asked me along too, because he'd just seen and liked last week's Visit London film.Wes Anderson is the guy who made Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic. In my eyes, he's a bit of a genius.I've stumbled on the daily posting for NaVloPoMo a little, but I'll catch up again. I am astonished at everyone else's stamina and creativity. While I'm in the mode of pimping The Darjeeling Limited, you should check out the Fox Searchlight US site for it. It has a whole heap of videoblog posts from the production (no RSS feeds though). They haven't put them on the UK site (perhaps territorial rights related reasons, these things usually are).
